Flixborough : Use DN15 8RJ for sat'nav'

This farm reservoir covers 2 ¼ acres and is stocked with a good head of Carp , Tench, roach to 2lb, Rudd to enormous and unrealised proportions, Perch, Silver and Bronze Bream, Ide, chub, and Crucian Carp. There are no pike or eels. There are about 30 pegs around the pond but anglers need to be careful as the banks are very steep. The pond is alongside Lodge Lane, Flixborough, which is the road from Normanby Road towards Flixborough village and, ultimately, Flixborough Wharf. The pond is on the right just before you reach the houses if travelling from the Normanby Road end. Turn in at the public footpath sign and there is a small grassed parking space immediately on the right. Please do not drive into the fishery via the eastern (nearest to Normanby Road) entrance, as the slope is very steep and. Particularly in wet conditions, cars are cutting into the turf causing deep ruts which are proving very difficult to repair.

 Medge Hall : Use DN8 5SP for sat'nav'

This is a small, triangular, deep, pond with 17 pegs around it, set in attractive woodland. It is typical club water containing Carp, Bream, Tench, Roach, Rudd, and Perch. Since acquiring this water we have introduced Ide and Crucian Carp.
There are two or three ways of reaching this pond but the main, and perhaps easiest way is to drive along the A18 from Scunthorpe towards Doncaster. After the Crowle turn off, the next right turn is signposted ‘Medge Hall’ (Clue!!). Take that road and follow it as far as you can before you meet a T-junction. Turn left and you will appear to be driving into a farmyard, (This is Crook O’Moor Farm, but there is public right of way). You then turn almost immediately right and drive over the canal bridge. On the other side of the canal is a manually operated level crossing. The man will come out of his signal box and open the gates for you. He will do this even if you don’t sound your horn several times and annoy him. Once through the level crossing turn right and you will see our sign and a locked gate to the fishery. The gate has one of our padlocks fitted with the same combination, Please lock the gate after you. You then follow the track and you almost run into the pond. Parking is on the hard standing to the right of the track. Please keep to the semi-metalled part of the track and car park.

  Winters Lake, East Halton : Use DN40 3NL for sat'nav'

This is a wild, reed lined, lake of approximately 12 acres on the south bank of the River Humber. In it’s hay day this was one of the best match fisheries in the area, only falling from grace due to the inception of the commercial ‘bag up’ match venues which became fashionable and popular some 10 years ago. There is good vehicle access to most pegs and there are ladies and gents toilets available at the house on site.
The water contains large Carp, Bream, Tench, silver fish and Eels. The eels are not the common or garden ‘bootlaces’ but run to 8 lb or more and are specimens in their own right.
To reach this fishery take the A180 between Scunthorpe and Grimsby and leave at the Brocklesby Interchange heading for South Killingholme. At the next roundabout turn left (first exit) onto Top Road, Killingholme. Follow that road until you pass the Black Bull Pub in East Halton. (Sat Nav location). After the pub the main road bends sharply to the left. Turn right on that bend into ‘Townside’. Follow the road until you cross a hump back bridge then take the next right. Follow that road and you will drive onto the fishery. The house and toilets are at the end of the lane. Park anywhere you can, bearing in mind not to block the lane.

Mill View Fishery, Blyton Village : Use DN21 3LA for sat'nav'

This is a small pond of about 21 pegs, set in a large grass playing field to the rear of the Blyton Ice Cream Factory, which is on the main road through the village of Blyton, a small village on the road between Scunthorpe and Gainsborough, the A159.
There is an island to fish to and the pond is extensively stocked with ‘bite size’ Carp of about half a pound each, plus small Bream and some decent Roach. I am told there are a few good Tench in there as well. The attraction of this fishery, however, lies in the additional facilities. There are ladies and gents toilets on site and a café which serves not only excellent ‘full English’, but also first class lunches. There is an on-site home made ice cream parlour and that, combined with an extensive grass field on which the kids can play games to their hearts content, renders this the ideal place for the wife or kids to come along.
All the pegs are comfortable, with no steep banks to contend with. The fishery also has it’s own lockable gate, so your gear, car, etc, will be safe whilst you wander off to partake of the amenities on offer. Please lock the gate once you have driven through it, either arriving or leaving, to prevent intruders. The club only leases the fishing rights to our waters. All actually remain private property and we need to treat the surroundings with respect or suffer the wrath of our landlords in the future, perhaps even losing the fishery.

Wood Lane Pond, North Wheatley : Use DN22 9BQ for sat'nav'

This is a very small ‘farm’ pond with about 15 pegs, but it is crammed with good quality fish including Carp, Tench, and Roach. It will, no doubt, be to everyone’s liking but it has been acquired to further the club’s ethos of providing a wide variety of different venues to suit whatever your chosen style of fishing. This is reported to be a nice ‘easy’ pond where you can catch a fair bag of fish in relatively comfortable pegs.
To reach this fishery you travel over the Trent bridge at Gainsborough and take the A620 towards Retford. As soon as that road separates into a dual carriageway you take the next turning right into Wood Lane. Drive down the hill and, at the bottom, turn left towards the fishery. The pond is on the right at the end of the lane. The pond is brand new to us and we have not made a deal of alterations yet but there will be one of our locks on the entrance gate and the pond is well signed.

The Warping Drain : Use DN9 1AH for Owston Ferry sat'nav'

We control the fishing rights to about three miles of the Warping Drain from its outfall at the Trent at Owston Ferry, as far as the East Stockwith Road. The traditional closed season applies to this fishery, so fishing at that venue between March 15th and June 15th is not permitted.
Most, if not all, of the possible entrances to our stretch are well signposted and locked with combination padlocks. Any of our locks you encounter require the same number to open them. We have included an Environment Agency lock on the same chain so that their staff, and a local farmer with grazing rights on the north bank, can also gain access when they like. Please be careful to lock these gates and arrange the locks exactly as you find them. There have been times when our members have locked our padlock through both links so the farmer cannot gain access, and it’s usually me he telephones, and shouts at, at 6a.m!!
We estimate that there are about 150 pegs on our bit (or will be when we have finished all the ground work to put them in place). It is possible to catch as many as 13 tench to over 3lb in one session, as well as perch to 4lb (No, not a misprint, 4lb), pike to 31 lb, and bream of 7 1/2 lb. There are a number of car parks on the stretch, all of which are easy to find.
To reach this fishery you need to head out of Scunthorpe on the A18. Once over Keadby Bridge you take the next left towards Althorpe. Follow the West bank of the River Trent into Owston Ferry. That road, once in Owston Ferry itself, turns a sharp right, at The White hart pub, into the market place. Follow that road through village and take the third left turn into Station Road. About a mile out of the village is a left turn, sign posted ‘weak bridge’. Take that left turn and you will cross the drain. The main E.A. car park is on the left, just prior to the bridge over the drain. Again this is fitted with one of our combination locks with the same combination.
If you carry on over the bridge the road bends to the right and follows the drain for some distance. We have provided four bridges over the dyke to the south of Warping Drain to provide easier access to the bank. You are also able to park on the grass verge near to these bridges. Those bridges are gated and locked. This is merely to preserve our liability to non-members under our insurance. It is not our intention to keep members of public off the banks. The padlocks on the bridges can be opened with the same combination. The locks are expensive so please lock them after you and try not to drop them in the dyke etc.
Beyond the last bridge there is a pull in on the right where you can also park up and access the Drain bank. At that location there is a concrete slipway and the drain itself narrows where there used to be another farm bridge, long since lost to the elements, it seems. Just to maintain the confusion here, that location is locally referred to as ‘four bridges’. (That’s Owston Ferry for you !!)
If you were to carry on along that road you would reach a crossroads (Sat Nav location) where you turn right towards East Lound. Our stretch ends where that road crosses the Warping Drain and, at that location, there are a small number of fishing pegs accessible from the road. All fishing is from the south bank. The north bank has problems in that the E.A. are keen to preserve some of the wildlife in the area, and the local farmers have grazing rights, (or at least their cattle have!). We are in negotiations to create some pleasure pegs on the north bank, near to the Trent end, but those negotiations are still under way. Please do not fish from any other than a designated peg.
The first two pegs at the ‘upstream’ end, the furthest from the Trent, are very attractive and bordered by rustic logs. Those are for wheelchair anglers only. Vehicles are not allowed onto the lower flood bank of the match stretch. It is not designed to take the weight of vehicles and will be somewhat soggy even in dry conditions. Some four by fours will make it but will leave tremendous ruts in the turf which the club as a whole will get the blame for. Please stick to the upper grass bank and park so that others can get past. There is plenty of car parking space available but do not expect to be always able to drive right up to your chosen peg and park, it is not that sort of venue. The most you will have to walk, if you select the right parking space, will be about 400 yards.

Lady Pit Farm, River Trent : Use NG23 5PG for sat'nav'

This fishery is actually two separate but adjacent stretches which are like chalk and cheese. The stretches are on the East bank of this much improving river where the central island known as Nabb’s Island divides the river in half. It is located at Syerston just south of East Stoke and yet is an easy one hour’s drive from Scunthorpe.
The stretch includes a weir and weir pool. Below the weir the river runs fast and shallow over gravel beds and, as you would expect, contains a good head of summer and autumn barbel, chub and roach. Above the weir the river runs slow and deep and contains roach and bream to magnificent proportions.
To reach this stretch from Scunthorpe you need to head south past Newark, via either the A1 or the more usual route directly through Gainsborough on the A156, turning right at Torksey onto the A1133. When that road meets the A57 you turn right then immediately left again, carrying straight on onto the A1133. At Langford you turn right onto the A46. From Newark you will pass through Farndon and then East Stoke. Once clear of East Stoke you will see a road to the left, signposted for Elston and Shelton. At that junction there is a large Mansion House known as Eden Hall (Sat’ Nav location). Directly opposite that left turn is a lay-by with a bus stop. The entrance to our stretch is in that lay-by. Drive down the lane (it can be a little bumpy and muddy so beware!) to the river. The lane is secured with a chain and combination padlock. Please leave the chain secure after entering or leaving the fishery.
At the bottom of the lane there is a small car park and to the right, down stream, there are about five pegs. To the left, upstream, is a gate, which will be locked with one of our own combinations locks. You can drive through the gate into the meadow and, weather permitting, drive along the full length of our stretch. A further gate beyond the weir affords access to the upper meadow. Be warned, if the ground is wet and you choose to drive into the meadow you will get bogged down !!
The stretch is well signed with the club’s usual signage.
Please close and lock all gates after driving through them. If you leave the gates unlocked you are very likely to be joined by non-members, fly tippers, travellers, poachers, etc. If you let them in, you get rid of them !! There are also sheep likely to be in the meadows. Even if you can’t see any they may still be there, our stretch is a good mile and a half long and you cannot see from one end to the other.

Torksey Island, River Trent : Use LN1 2EE for sat'nav'

This stretch is a prolific silver fish venue with the ever present possibility of large specimens of most river fish including those illusive barbel into double figures. The banks are low and easily accessible but please be mindful that the river at this location is tidal. The mud uncovered at low tide is very silty and you are liable to sink up to your boot tops in it.
To reach this stretch you travel on the A156 from Gainsborough, which becomes known as Main Street as you enter Torksey. Just as you reach Torksey you pass a site on the right containing a number of Portakabin type buildings. Immediately beyond that site, prior to the first house on the right, there is a farm gate. That is the entrance to the fishery. The gate is secured with one of the club’s combination locks and is well signposted. You can drive into the field and park anywhere.
From the Sheffield area the best route is via the A1 South, left onto the A57, then left again onto the A1133 at Newton On Trent. Bear left onto the A156 and the fishery is on the left after the last of the houses. If you pass the portakabins, you’ve passed the fishery. (Sat’ Nav’ location is the Hume Arms pub in Torksey).

South Ciffton, River Trent : Use NG23 7AH for sat'nav'

This fishery is a rarely fished and picturesque stretch of this much improving river. It is fairly isolated which you may class as an advantage or disadvantage, depending on your preferences and expectations.
To reach this fishery you head for South Clifton on the A1133. If travelling from the South you turn onto the A1133 from the A46 (Via the A1), if travelling from the North you turn onto the A1133 from the A156 at Torksey.
Take the most southerly of the two turnings signposted to South Clifton (1st from the South, 2nd from the North) and head into South Clifton. As you enter South Clifton, just prior to the village green on the left, turn left into Coal Yard Lane. Drive right to the end of that lane and you will see a barn conversion in front of you. You cannot go any further. There is a wide grass verge on the right on which you can park. Please park at 90 degrees to the lane to allow for other cars to park alongside you.
From there you walk through the field gate and over a style into the meadow. Walk through that meadow, upstream, and follow the river bank to a second style. Our fishery starts at that second style and continues to the next field fence. It is not as far as it sounds and is well worth the effort. The stretch is well laid out with comfortable banks, and contains a good head of barbel, chub and silver fish.

The River Torne, Tunnel Pits To Epworth Road Bridge : Use DN9 1LQ for sat'nav' and Tunnel Pits to

The club has leased exclusive rights to about 2 miles or more of this great river, from where it is crossed by the road from 5 ways roundabout at Sandtoft towards Wroot, (This area is known locally as Tunnel Pits), ‘downsteam’ to where the river is crossed by Epworth Road, (from five ways roundabout back towards Epworth). There are numerous accesses along the stretch, some via main roads, others by the various farm tracks and lanes. In certain areas you are able to drive and park along the river bank.
Until such time as we have explored all access routes anyone visiting the river should make sure that there is public access along the route they are taking, please, and always obey the country code by closing any gates they drive through, keeping off cultivated crops, etc. Already I believe it will prove rather difficult to describe in a letter all the possible access points to this river and members may find themselves having to do a bit of exploring of their own.
The river contains some excellent tench, roach, and pike, with a few surprise bream catches to be had.

The River Witham, Long Bennington : Use NG23 5DS for sat'nav'

The club has recently leased the sole fishing rights to the upper Witham at Long Bennington, This stretch of roving river is ideally suited to the wandering angler with little access available by car, The stretch holds many good fish that are distributed right throughout the stretch including Chub, Roach, Barbel, Grayling, Perch and Trout, You will find the clubs usual signage at the river, Use the postcode above to navigate to Long Bennington and take Westborough Lane which will lead you to the River, If driving without a sat nav then from Scunthorpe take the M181, M180, M18 towards Doncaster,A1 to Newark, stay on the A1 past Newark On Trent and keep driving until you see the Long Bennington turn off this will take you on to Main Road, Take the turning to your left called Westborough Lane and stay on this road until you hit the river.

Yaddlethorpe Ponds : Use DN17 2BU for sat'nav'

The club has taken a block booking on the South Pond (only) of this venue. The fishery is very picturesque despite bordering the South Park Industrial Estate on Scotter Road, Scunthorpe. The fishery normally charges a £5 day ticket for all ponds but our members can fish the South pond (only the South Pond) at any time absolutely free of charge. When the bailiff comes around for your money just show your Police Club Pass and you will not be charged. You will see that only five visits to this pond per year, three for pensioners, will, in effect, reimburse your membership fees. Obviously, if you wish to fish any of the other ponds on the venue you will need to pay the day ticket price.
The complex is on the east side of Scotter road next to Edley’s Scrap Yard. Access is via metal gates and there is a sign indicating the day ticket fishery. The South Pond is the small pond facing you as you drive in the through the entrance gates. Please observe the fishery rules when at that venue.

Trentside Fishery, Burton Upon Stather : Use DN15 9DH for sat'nav'

The club has, once again, taken a block booking on this extensive day ticket water for the three months of the traditional closed Season ONLY. (March 15th to June 15th inclusive.) This fishery normally charges £5 per day so members will not need to visit this fishery on many occasions before they have effectively recouped their annual subscriptions.
To reach this fishery you travel to Burton Upon Stather along Normanby road from Scunthorpe. At the Sheffield Arms pub turn left (or right if approaching from Thealby) into Stather Road and drive down the steep hill. At the bottom you will see a track which turns very sharply left so that you are almost travelling back the way you came. Follow that track to the fishery.
Please note. Whilst the owners are child friendly they do also have a business to run. You will be charged for any ‘guest’, whether this is a spouse or a child, unless they are sharing the peg with yourself.

Angling is not just a hobby or pastime to us and our involvement with conservational bodies throughout each year ensures that we as anglers do more to protect the areas in which we are present enjoying this great sport

Please be a good angler and take all litter home

Please read all rules carefully that are posted in the club rules section with additional rules posted on individual selected waters throughout the site.
